I bought a framed poster from allposters.com in April 2012, the whole transaction process was in Hong Kong Dollars. To my amazement when the credit card statement arrived, they had charged me US Dollars, US$889. That's 8x more than the price I stated on the website. Read more

I shop at Ralph's market all the time. I have a Ralph's club card and every quarter they send back some reward check based on my purchases. This has never been more than about $8.00 but it felt like something. I decided to ask about their coupon since when I went to Von's I noticed that they doubled my coupons. Read more

We all remember those comfy Carters pajamas for kids. The full body coziness, the long zipper the fuzzy comfort. These adult models don't have those great feet but they do come with matching footies. Many of you including myself may have even had a family member turn you into a crazy Easter Bunny like in the movie A Christmas Story by adding tails and ears to the whole ensemble. Read more

How did this happen? By being able to shop black Friday deals online. Yeah, I shopped all night and got some killer deals. In fact I also tried the Amazon Prime Trial and all my Christmas shopping is done and many already delivered Saturday. YES even Saturday! The rest of the items will arrive no later than Wednesday.

Victoria's Secret has never claimed official sports fan status. It just makes the stuff--or at least sells it. Apparently the lingerie specialist should stick to what it knows. Michigan State and the University of Michigan are two different schools--unless you ask Victoria's Secret. The clothing store has released a women's tee that seems to hail the new University of Michigan State. Read more

Think you should be able to talk freely, text or communicate by phone--on your own private time while shopping in a mall? Think again. Only if you’re ok being tracked. Malls are using mobile or cellular phones to track moves and find out how long and where you shop. Major malls in California and Virginia don't quite seem to make that clear. Read more

Today I was looking to buy some Votivo candles since I have used them all up and they make your house smell amazing. I decided to look on eBay as I have purchased them there before and was wondering if I could find a bit of a deal before I went to Votivo.com or Nordstrom. What I found was crazy, candles selling for more than retail that are not even new in the box. Read more

Ordered an item for the first time in a while to give Newegg.com a shot again. Yes, they do have some good prices but taking 4 days just to ship an item seems nuts. I figured since they were in California where I am it would be an easy feat to get something out the door. I order stuff from Amazon.com all the time with free super-saver shipping and get many items super fast. Read more

Different strokes for different folks--it seems some odd things can turn people on: A Louisiana man who's been caught driving around a Walmart parking lot apparently has some serious feelings related to the supercenter. That's the reason his penis was exposed--“he gets aroused” by visiting the retail giant. Read more
